Needs photo. A photo can be uploaded here if one is deemed the copyright owner of the photo. I can assist if you figure out how to email me.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:42, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Thinking about donating an image? If you're considering donating an image to Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia's image database, it helps to know how the system works. We can't simply fish images off of the web and try to upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia compares every new donated image with every image out there on the web, and if it finds a match, it assumes the uploaded image is copyrighted, and it will be removed from Wikimedia Commons. So how does one upload an image? Here are the rules. You are considered the copyright owner if you pressed the button on the camera and took the picture; so it's yours, you own it, you can donate it, and Wikimedia will accept it. If somebody else took the photo, even with your camera, then they're the copyright owner, and we'll need their permission via email, using a forwarded boilerplate email that I can arrange. If you took the image of yourself with your camera, using a timer, then you're the copyright owner and you can donate it. If you took the image of yourself in a mirror, that works as well. If your image is of other recognizable people, then it is advised to get their permission first (verbal permission is fine, written is better) before uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, unless the image is of a prominent person in the public eye, such as a celebrity, then no such permission is needed. Your photos of buildings and landscapes and other places will not require permission. Photos of artwork can be problematic unless they've passed into the public domain, such as for example a painting from the 19th century. If you take a photo of your own artwork, that is fine, you're the copyright owner of both the photo and the artwork, and we'll need to state this in the permissions section of the uploaded image file; one caveat is that donated artwork which is shared under various copyleft licenses may no longer be able to generate income for the artist, if that had been their primary purpose. That said, an image of the subject of this article will be welcomed if a photographer and contributor can leap over the hurdles, and then write here, on this talk page, the name of the uploaded image file in Wikimedia Commons. Thanks in advance.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:39, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
